The document discusses normal and abnormal causes of foamy urine. Normal causes include rapidly urinating which can force air into the urine stream, mild dehydration which concentrates the urine, and small amounts of semen left in the urethra after sex. Abnormal causes are related to health issues and include urinary tract infections which introduce bacteria into the urine, kidney disease which allows proteins to enter the urine, and fistula formations between the bladder and colon that introduce intestinal contents into the urine stream. The document aims to differentiate between normal and abnormal foamy urine based on its underlying causes.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES To determine the causes of foamy urine
Todifferentiate the normal and abnormal
causes of foamy urine. NORMAL CAUSES OF FOAMY URINE URINATING RAPIDLY Rapid urination can cause foaming in the urine. Some people postpone going to the bathroom and collect a large amount of urine in their bladder.
This leads to forceful urination, and results in
fast emptying of the bladder. The stream of urine that follows, hits the toilet rapidly and causes foam to develop.
This type of foam usually disappears in a few
minutes DEHYDRATION Mild dehydration, such as during pregnancy or exercise, leads the kidneys to produce concentrated urine and causes the urine to appear darker and more concentrated.
This often results in foamy appearing urine.
Rehydrate and drink plenty of fluids and the problem is solved. As fluid balance is restored, the urine will appear a pale yellow. SEMEN IN URINE
After sexual intercourse, some semen may be left
in one's urethra, which may come out in the urine. However, small amounts of semen do not usually lead to foam in the urine.
Another condition called retrograde ejaculation
may result in large amounts of semen going back to the bladder if the sphincter (a muscle that prevents retrograde flow) is not properly functioning. This is usually associated with foamy urine. ABNORMAL CAUSES OF FOAMY URINE PROTEIN IN THE URINE The presence of a substantial amount of protein in one's urine is a common factor that results in foamy urine. Small amounts of protein may be naturally expelled in the urine. When protein is excreted in large amounts, however, the abnormal condition is known as proteinuria. Proteins in the blood do not usually come out in the urine because they are regulated by the kidney glomeruli. However, some conditions may cause proteins to be filtered out into the urine, and these include: -Kidney infection -Kidney damage -Excess dietary intake of protein Foamy urine is characteristic of having an excessive amount of protein in the urine. INFECTION
An infection in the urinary tract caused by
bacteria or fungi can result in cloudy and foamy urine. This is usually accompanied by a burning pain during urination, which is characteristic of a UTI or urinary tract infection. The microorganisms causing the infection produce foam in one's urine. UTI is usually detected in a urine examination and may be treated with antibiotics. Patients are also advised to increase their fluid intake to flush out the microorganisms. FISTULA FORMATION
In some people, a fistula or unnatural connection
may develop between the urinary bladder and the colon (large intestine), and this is called a vesicocolic fistula. The bladder becomes swollen and fluid accumulates beneath the skin. Foam is formed, and on urination, the urine becomes foamy. Because of the connection to the colon, the urine may also have an offensive odor and may contain some feces. This is not a normal condition and may be a sign of another underlying condition such as Crohn's disease or a tumor KIDNEY DISEASE
People with kidney disease as a complication of
diabetes or kidney stones can also have foamy urine. REFERENCE http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases- conditions/urine-color/expert-answers/foamy- urine/faq-20057871
